Comments

Known only from the Fly-Strickland river system. Most specimens have been found from moderate to fast-flowing, gravel-boulder bottom creeks in mountainous tributaries of the Ok Tedi River at distances between about 930 and 1000 km upstream from the sea. A single fish was also collected from the Nomad River (tribuatry of the Strickland River) in foothill terrain about 800 km upstream. Also Ref. 6993, 13533.
